The first round of the 2025 NBA Draft is officially in the books. As expected, the Dallas Mavericks selected Duke superstar Cooper Flagg on Wednesday night with the No. 1 overall pick, and the San Antonio Spurs followed up by taking Rutgers guard Dylan Harper – the consensus second-best player in the class.

The Utah Jazz selected Rutgers guard Ace Bailey with the fifth pick in the NBA draft. Afterward he spoke with ESPN's Monica McNutt for a quick interview. First, McNutt asked Bailey how he could be so "cool and confident in this moment" given all the outside noise about his pre-draft process.
